Lucretius
Sweet it is, when on the high seas the winds are lashing the waters, to gaze from the land on another's struggles.
Lucretius

Lucretius
I prove the supreme law of Gods and sky, And the primordial germs of things unfold, Whence Nature all creates, and multiplies And fosters all, and whither she resolves Each in the end when each is overthrown. This ultimate stock we have devised to name Procreant atoms, matter, seeds of things, Or primal bodies, as primal to the world.
Lucretius
Fear is the mother of all gods ... Nature does all things spontaneously, by herself, without the meddling of the gods.
Lucretius
Were a man to order his life by the rules of true reason, a frugal substance joined to a contented mind is for him great riches for never is there any lack of a little.
Lucretius

Lucretius
Under what law each thing was created, and how necessary it is for it to continue under this, and how it cannot annul the strong rules that govern its lifetime.
Lucretius
